  • Patent number: 11760074
    Abstract: This mold for prepreg lamination includes a first surface only having a surface flat along one direction; second surfaces having a surface flat along the one direction and disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to the first surface; and a third surface with a cross-sectional shape, which is a surface yielded from a cut in an orthogonal direction to the one direction, that is an arc, and with one end side connected to the first surface and the other end side connected to the second surface. First bend sections having a protruding shape are formed on the second surface and the third surface and serve as boundaries, and one of the surfaces is slanted relative to the other surfaces. On the third surface, the diameter of the arc on the other surface becomes gradually smaller as further away from the first bend section along the one direction.
